reopening the application period for
new participants until January 8, 2013.
On January 3, 2013, the Federal Register
published a correction (78 FR 315)
stating that the correct date of the close
of the reopened application period was
January 10, 2013. On April 23, 2013,
CBP published a notice in the Federal
Register (78 FR 23946) extending the
ACAS pilot period through October 26,
2013, and reopening the application
period through May 23, 2013. Finally,
on October 23, 2013, CBP published a
notice in the Federal Register (78 FR
63237) extending the ACAS pilot period
through July 26, 2014, and reopening
the application period through
December 23, 2013.
CBP would like to extend the pilot
further to enable CBP to continue to
strengthen its capability to target highrisk cargo earlier in the supply chain
and provide greater opportunity for
additional members of the air cargo
community to participate and prepare
for possible proposed regulatory
changes. There are current participants
that are in the process of testing and
development that still need time to
become fully operational participants
and there continue to be members of the
air cargo community who have
informed CBP that they are interested in
participating in the pilot.
For these reasons, CBP is extending
the ACAS pilot period through July 26,
2015, and reopening the application
period through September 26, 2014.
Anyone interested in participating in
the ACAS pilot should refer to the
notice published in the Federal Register
on October 24, 2012, for additional
application information and eligibility
requirements.

Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Illinois State
Museum professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Sac & Fox Nation of Missouri in Kansas
and Nebraska; Sac & Fox Nation,
Oklahoma; and Sac & Fox Tribe of the
Mississippi in Iowa.
History and Description of the Remains
Between 1956 and 1958, human
remains representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from the
Crawford Farm archeological site
(11RI81) in Rock Island County, IL, by
a group of amateur artifact collectors.
The collectors later donated the human
remains and other materials removed
from the site to the Putnam Museum of
History and Natural Science in
Davenport, IA. In 1996, the Putnam
Museum of History and Natural Science
transferred its Crawford Farm collection
to the Illinois State Museum in
Springfield (Accession 1996–105). This
collection includes artifacts, shells, and
animal bones from 34 pit features. In
2013, the Illinois State Museum loaned
part of its Crawford Farm collection to
the Illinois State Archeological Survey
in Champaign-Urbana for an analysis of
animal remains. During this analysis,
one fragmentary human tarsal bone (left
cuboid) was discovered in a bag of
animal bone from Pit 10. The age and
gender of the individual are not known.
No known individuals were identified.
No associated funerary objects are
present.
Based on archeological evidence and
historical records, the Crawford Farm
site has been identified as the second of
several historic Saukenuk villages
occupied by Sauk Indians from about
A.D. 1790 to 1830. The presence of
horse remains in Pit 10 affirms that the
human remains found in this feature
were associated with the historic
Saukenuk village occupation at the site.
The human remains are likely Native
American because they were associated
with a village occupied by as many as
100 lodges of Sauk Indians in the early
nineteenth century. Historical records
linking Saukenuk village with the Sauk
Indian tribe include maps and reports
prepared by American explorers and
Indian agents. Members of other tribes
(Ho-Chunk/Winnebago, Menominee,
Ottawa, and Potawatomi) occasionally
visited Saukenuk village, but the
primary occupants were Sauk and/or
Mesquaki (Fox).
